Deathly Beloved

The man down the hall

Like I said before, I have been living here all my life so I mainly know everyone here. From the ones who have gotten better to the ones who had no hope. Over the years there's been many people going in and out of this mental hospital, most of them were really close friendship's while others were just known strangers. Only....there's been always one room that has never been empty and that's room number 205. The person that has been staying there is a man by the name of Gilbert. Gilbert seems like a very mean and psychotic man but in reality he's a very kind and talkative. When I was younger he used to tell me one of the best stories before bed time and sometimes he would sneak some goodies from the living room just so I could have them since I wasn't allowed in there. One thing that I really enjoyed hearing was the fact that he knew my father and mother before I was ever present. He was a very close friend of my mother so I always refered to him as uncle Gilbert. Every time I asked him about my father, his face had a dark look that would make a grown man scared and his voice would get all eerie and deep. "Sweetie.... Your father wasn't the best man to look upon. There are some things better kept secret and this is one of them. Soon you'll find out the truth... But I am not the one to tell you such things. I can speak about your mother who was a beautiful angel but never about your father."
